Baby Trend Infant Car Seat Review

Baby Trend EZ Flex Loc Infant Car Seat

The Baby Trend EZ Flex Loc Infant Car Seat is a well-designed, medium-priced infant car seat that suits all budgets and lifestyles.

This particular car seat is significantly cheaper than a lot of the other options on the market, but it still performs to the highest of standards.

Having a new baby can be incredibly expensive. While you don’t want to compromise on safety, we feel this is an excellent option for those with a lower budget.

We hope that this Baby Trend Infant Car Seat review can help you understand your newborn baby's needs and buy the product that is most suitable for you.

Who Is This Product For?

The Baby Trend EZ Flex Loc Infant Car Seat has been specifically designed for infants weighing between five and 30 pounds and up to 30 inches long.

This means that the car seat is suitable for newborn infants and will protect them when they are at their most vulnerable.

It’s not suitable for older children, though. Hence, if your baby is already approaching 30 pounds, then you should look for a model that is suitable for older kids.

This car seat makes an ideal option for people that are looking for the ultimate car seat when it comes to convenience.

It has several features that make it incredibly easy to move around from the car to the house or the stroller.

It also comes highly recommended for people with multiple children, especially twins or triplets, due to the slimline design.

The Baby Trend EZ Flex Loc Infant Car Seat is the perfect first car seat for your child.

What’s Included?

When you purchase this Baby Trend EZ Flex Loc Infant Car Seat, you will obviously receive the car seat itself.

It comes with an EZ Flex Loc Stay In Car Base, which stays safely locked in the same position in your car.

You will also receive an instruction manual that will explain how to get the most out of your baby car seat.

It contains essential information about the manufacturer's warranty, which you should keep somewhere safe.

Although not included, we recommend you also purchase a Baby Trend Jogger, mainly because this is compatible with all of the products from the Expedition Jogger range.

Overview of the Features

This car seat has all of the basic necessities and much more at a really fantastic, affordable price. Here are the features you’d get from this car seat:

• Wide Compatibility

The first thing we noticed is that it comes in an attractive carbon color scheme that suits every modern vehicle. It is also a stylish option for any baby, regardless of their gender.

One of the most important attributes is the compatibility of the car seat with every single one of the Baby Trend range of strollers.

If you buy one product from the Baby Trend range, you would also benefit from purchasing other Baby Trend items due to this compatibility.

• Compact Construction

The design of the Baby Trend EZ Flex Loc Infant Car Seat has been developed with the modern car in mind.

It has a slim design, which allows more comfort and space in the back of your car.

You can even install three of these car seats in the back of your car, just in case you’re having more than one bundle of joy!

• Lightweight

This car seat is extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver, even with your baby strapped in.

It weighs only 17 pounds, which makes it easy for any parent to reposition. You can simply carry it around with the baby safely strapped in, and get minimal disturbance.

In fact, the majority of parents should be able to lift this car seat with one hand.

• Safety Features

It is recommended that your baby rides facing backward in the early stages of his or her life. That is exactly what the Baby Trend Infant Car Seat offers.

Its specially-designed energy-absorbing foam offers a high-level of protection where your baby needs it the most.

Even with side impact, your baby’s head and neck will be protected with the innovative EPS protection.

• Five-Point Safety

It also has an adjustable five-point safety harness that will not only keep your baby strapped in safely but also grow with your baby.

• Multi-Hold Handle

The multi-hold handle makes this baby seat incredibly easy to maneuver and rearrange your grip.

This is especially true if you have twins and need two baby car seats, or even when you just have your hands full of shopping.

• Adjustable Sunshade

Another notable feature of the Baby Trend EZ Flex Loc Infant Car Seat is the adjustable sunshade.

It pulls out easily and is ideal for summer days when your baby is trying to sleep, but the sun is beaming through the window.

• EZ Flex Loc Stay In Car Base

As mentioned previously, this car seat is compatible with the Baby Trend jogger stroller. The jogger stroller can be purchased separately and used together for your comfort and ease.

Imagine your baby is soundly asleep in the car seat, and you really don’t want to wake them up.

With just one click, you can remove the car seat and attach it to the stroller and continue with your day with minimal disturbance to the infant.

It makes quick trips to the shops so much easier! The EZ Flex Loc Stay In Car Base is what makes this possible.

The base stays in the car while the seat releases easily from it with the easy-access seat-release button.

• Easy-Clean Design

We also love that it is designed to be easily cleaned with a damp cloth.

It’s no secret that babies can be very messy and, especially when they’re young, can be prone to sicking up their milk.

The easy wipe-down material will save you time and effort when it comes to maintaining a clean interior.

All in all, we think this is an ideal baby car seat for parents with very young children.

However, it is important to know that your baby will eventually grow out of this seat, and a new one will need to be purchased in a larger size.

While you will eventually have to replace this car seat for a larger one, it is still a top-of-the-line seat for a very low price.

Who knows? There might be another baby coming along in the future. Hold onto this car seat, and you will definitely get your money's worth!

How to Get the Most Out of It

The slim and ergonomic design of this car seat means it is ideal for parents with multiple children.

If you had twins, for example, you could buy two of these car seats, and they will easily fit in the back of your car with room to spare.

With such a great price, you can more easily afford to purchase a second and third car seat.

It also leaves more in the budget for when your baby has grown out of this particular Baby Trend Infant Car Seat.

The best way to benefit from this product, however, is to stick with the brand by purchasing other products from the same line.

For example, the Expedition Baby Trend Jogger Stroller will save you from purchasing multiple other products, as the car seat safely attaches to the stroller.

This will also save you heaps when it comes to storage space.

Alternative

We believe it is important to research other alternatives before making your final purchase decision.

That is why this Baby Trend Infant Car Seat review comes complete with a comparison against an alternative product.

In this section, we will take a closer look at the alternative baby seat, which is the Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat.

This car seat is designed for an infant up to 30 pounds and 30 inches in height, making it fit the same age and weight range as the car seat from Baby Trend.

Surprisingly, it also weighs precisely the same as the Baby Trend EZ Flex Loc Infant Car Seat, but this unit comes with a few more perks at a higher price.

One of the stand-out features of this baby car seat is a bigger recline. We have to admit; this does make it more comfortable for your newborn babies while they are sleeping.

The fabric and cushioning can also be removed from this car seat for cleaning purposes, which is handy.

They can be thrown in the washing machine, but don’t forget that it should only ever be washed on a cold cycle.

The Baby Trend EZ Flex Loc Infant Car Seat, unfortunately, does not have this option because the fabric is firmly attached to the plastic base.

While the Baby Trend car seat is easily wiped down, when it comes to a deeper clean, this car seat wins.

However, we feel that the price difference is simply too high for the few additional perks you get with the Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat.

Your baby will still outgrow this car seat just as quickly, so unless you have an unlimited budget, we’re not sure the price is justified.

Conclusion

You can probably tell from this Baby Trend Infant Car Seat review that we were really impressed with its features and how it performs.

Compared to other options, we really feel that this Baby Trend creation has everything a new parent could want from their first car seat.

It is considerably cheaper than many other similar products on the market, and it still offers the same safety standards, durability, and lightweight, ergonomic dimensions.

Why spend hundreds of dollars on a car seat, when you can purchase the Baby Trend Infant Car Seat for a fraction of the price?

We all know how fast babies grow, and that's why we feel investing in this affordable model is the right decision.

Either way, you’ll need to replace your infant car seat eventually as your child grows, so the more affordable the car seat, the better, right?

The Baby Trend Infant Car Seat offers soft foam and impact head protection, which are the two most important things a concerned parent could look for.

It is light, easy to carry, and it fits neatly in your back seat, leaving room for other children or passengers.

What’s more, it’s compatible with other Baby Trend products, such as the Baby Trend stroller.

Because of this, you will be able to save a lot of money and time in searching for additional equipment to complete your baby’s needs.

If you ask us, our favorite product to compliment this car seat is the Baby Trend jogger stroller, so we recommend taking advantage of this, too.

In conclusion, we highly recommend this product as a low-cost, high-quality option for your baby's first car seat.
